When Qin Qingman heard what Huang Haijun said, she knew what he meant. Although she could not protect anyone, she believed that in Baicheng, as long as Zhou Jingguo became the leader of the County Revolutionary Committee, the movement in Baicheng would definitely not be so terrifying.
"Brother Huang, why don't you stay a few more days?"
Qin Qingman asked Huang Haijun.
"No." Huang Haijun glanced at Huang Wanqing beside him as he said this, and said firmly: "Wanqing is in your care, my family and I are very relieved, and I have more important things to do now."
"Brother."
Huang Wanqing was reluctant to see Huang Haijun leave.
Although Baicheng is not particularly far from the capital, given the current situation, it is still very difficult to travel far away. You have to get various certificates locally, just like her.
She was an educated youth who had just been sent to the countryside. In the first two years, she would not be given any leave to visit her family unless there was a population decrease in her family.
People in their family can't go out whenever they want. Now that Huang Haijun has gone back, it's hard to tell when they'll see each other again. Huang Wanqing recalled her time with Huang Haijun today, and her nose suddenly felt sour.
Eyes gradually become moist.
"I haven't left yet, why are you crying? You're already so old, but you don't make me feel at ease. Don't cry, I'll go back and ask your sister-in-law to send you clothes and food, all your favorite foods when you were a child."
Huang Haijun felt very reluctant to see his sister crying.
But he knew that Qin Qingman's plan was more important, because once the plan was made, it would benefit more than just one or two people; it was a big, important thing.
"Brother, can't you stay one more day before leaving?"
Huang Wanqing did not have the same political sensitivity as Qin Qingman and Huang Haijun, and did not see the seriousness of the problem. Because she was reluctant to let Huang Haijun go, she really wanted Huang Haijun to stay one more night, and she had a lot of things she had not said to Huang Haijun.
She also hasn't figured out why Huang Haijun came to Baicheng last time and then went back.
Although the letter simply said that something happened, it did not know what it was, whether it was serious, or whether someone in the family had an accident.
"Wanqing, I have to leave tomorrow. Zhao Cai is not an ordinary person. He is not only deeply rooted in Baicheng County, but he also has connections in the provincial capital and even in Beijing. I must hurry back and cut off his network of connections as soon as possible."
Huang Haijun knew that Huang Wanqing didn't understand, but he was willing to explain.
"Wanqing, there are some things that cannot be said in letters or telegrams, so I have to leave. If it weren't for the fact that it's getting late today and there are no cars, I would even want to leave overnight." This was Huang Haijun's final insistence.
He stayed tonight just to spend more time with Huang Wanqing.
"Brother, is it really that serious?" Huang Wanqing said this while looking at Qin Qingman standing beside her.
At this time, Qin Qingman did not take off her cotton coat, but was still standing in front of the hall door with a flashlight in her hand, intending to send Huang Haijun directly to the educated youth point.
"Wanqing, your brother is right, he must leave as soon as possible. We are facing more than just a 'Zhao Cai'. The road we are planning will not be easy." Qin Qingman finally explained to Huang Wanqing.
"I...I understand."
Huang Wanqing quickly lowered her head and rubbed her eyes with her back, wiping away the tears that had not yet flowed out.
"I'll go get the bedding." After saying that, he went into the east room.
Since they knew Huang Haijun was coming, they made preparations in advance. Bedding was also prepared in advance and they just had to take him to the educated youth site.
Looking at the depressed yet considerate Huang Wanqing, Qin Qingman and Huang Haijun did not say anything to persuade her. They both tacitly pretended not to notice Huang Wanqing wiping her tears.
People must grow.
Whether you grow up on your own or are forced to grow by the environment, it is a process of growing up and you have to go through it.
"Brother Huang, our house is too small to accommodate you. Wanqing and I knew you were coming so we cleaned up the Youth League camp in the village in advance. Our Youth League camp has never been inhabited by anyone, but it is often cleaned. Bring your bedding and it will be fine for you to stay there for one night."
Qin Qingman explained to Huang Haijun the inconveniences at home.
Huang Haijun nodded quickly, "Qingman, the educated youth center is great. I'll go stay there and talk to Wanqing more at night." He actually had a lot of things he wanted to say to Huang Wanqing alone, but he had never found a suitable opportunity at the Qin family. After hearing Qin Qingman's explanation, he immediately agreed.
"Brother Huang, if you have any questions after returning to Beijing, you can call our Hongqi Commune. I am an official of the commune and can answer your call at the first opportunity."
Qin Qingman had previously asked Wei Ling to acknowledge Huang Wanqing as his sister with the intention of making friends with the Huang family. Seeing that Huang Haijun also had this intention today, she simply said it out loud at this time.
Sometimes, one actually builds one's own network.
"Qingman, I understand. After I leave, I ask you to take care of Wanqing. She is the youngest child in the family and is overprotected. She doesn't think deeply about many things. Sometimes she may cause trouble to you. Please bear with me."
Huang Haijun is Huang Wanqing's biological brother and knows what kind of person his sister is.
"Brother Huang, Wanqing is very good and smart, you can all rest assured."
Qin Qingman accepted the promise.
"By the way, Qingman, this is the money and food coupons that my family asked me to bring. Wanqing will be staying at your house, so you should accept it. Since Wanqing has recognized Wei Ling as her brother, the three of us are one family. You should take this money and food coupons and use them for household expenses."
After Huang Haijun finished his business, he took out a stack of money and bills from his arms and handed them to Qin Qingman.
Originally, he was going to give the money and bills to Huang Wanqing, but after getting along with Qin Qingman, he felt that the money and bills would be more useful if given to Qin Qingman.
Let's not talk about anything else. As soon as he saw the cotton and leather jackets with Northeastern characteristics on Huang Wanqing, he knew that they were bought by Qin Qingman for Huang Wanqing. Since Qin Qingman treated Huang Wanqing as her own sister, he did not treat Qin Qingman as an outsider.
"Okay, I'll keep them all."
Qin Qingman thought for a few seconds about the money and bills that Huang Haijun handed over and then took them. She also felt that since Huang Wanqing was staying at their house, there was no need for her to keep so much money and bills on her.
Of course, she took the money and notes not for real household use, but to save it for Huang Wanqing.
Huang Wanqing had already paid for the household expenses from her monthly salary. Qin Qingman had no intention of using the extra money and tickets sent by the Huang family. Besides, both Wei Ling and she had salaries and food coupons, so they were not poor and had enough food.
"Brother, Qingman."
At this moment, Huang Wanqing came out of the east room holding bedding.
"Give it to me."
Huang Haijun saw that the quilt Huang Wanqing was holding was quite thick, so he quickly stepped forward and took it.
"Qingman, Chuchu has fallen asleep. I will take my brother to the educated youth center. You don't have to go. I'm worried that Chuchu will be scared when she wakes up and doesn't see anyone." Huang Wanqing remembered the fright Chuchu had suffered during the day and refused Qin Qingman's request to go with her to send Huang Haijun.
"Qingman, give me the flashlight. Wanqing and I will go. You stay at home."
Huang Haijun was also worried about Chuchu being alone at home, so he quickly shifted his gaze to Qin Qingman's face.
Qin Qingman looked at Huang Wanqing, then at Huang Haijun, knowing that the two siblings had something to say, so she handed the flashlight to Huang Wanqing and said, "When you arrive, light up the kang first. Only when the kang is warm can the room be warm."
"Qingman, I understand."
Huang Wanqing grabbed the leather and cotton coats on the hanger and wrapped herself up tightly.
Even though it's already March, it's still very cold at night and the ice and snow outside are melting slowly.
As the saying goes, it's not cold until it melts. If you don't wear enough clothes when going out in this kind of weather, you will definitely freeze to death.
"Be careful when you walk. There is snow on the ground. Don't fall." Qin Qingman reminded Huang Haijun and Huang Wanqing as they were going out.
"Oh, I see, Qingman, you should hurry back to the house, it's cold outside."
Huang Haijun and Huang Wanqing answered at the same time.
Then he slowly left the Qin family with a flashlight.
Kaoshantun is quite safe at night. Due to a series of incidents, several key locations at the entrance of the village are guarded by militiamen. It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to get in easily, so the village is actually very safe.
The educated youth were some distance away from the Qin family, and the Huang brothers and sisters did not talk to each other.
Huang Wanqing walked in front with a flashlight, her steps a little hesitant.
Huang Haijun could only smile helplessly behind him.
His sister was obedient and sensible in front of Qin Qingman, and he thought her personality had changed. But as soon as she left the Qin family, she started to throw a tantrum. It wasn't that she didn't want him to leave, but that she just wanted to vent her temper.
It means that the younger sister is acting coquettishly towards her older brother.
"Wanqing, your parents miss you very much and are worried about you. When you have time, write a letter to your family so that they won't worry about you." Huang Haijun looked at Huang Wanqing's pouting mouth and quickly spoke.
When talking about family members, Huang Wanqing didn't care about being awkward with her brother and asked quickly, "Brother, how are Dad and Mom?" Then she added, "Where is my sister-in-law, my second brother, my third brother, my second sister-in-law, my third sister-in-law, and our little nephews?"
"Everything is fine. Everyone is in good health. I just miss you. During the Chinese New Year, the children asked why you didn't come home."
Huang Haijun reached out and held Huang Wanqing's hand.
There was snow all over the ground, and the way she was walking, it would be easy for her to fall.
"Brother, are you all blaming me?"
Huang Wanqing felt the warmth in her palm, her nose became more sour, and she could no longer control the rapidly increasing tears in her eyes.
"Silly girl, no matter what decision you make, you are our Huang family's child. We understand you. Although we have some complaints, that is also human nature." Huang Haijun comforted Huang Wanqing.
"Brother, I'm sorry to have made you worry."
At this moment, Huang Wanqing deeply realized how painful it was for her parents and relatives to run away from home like this.
The longer she spent with Qin Qingman, the more she realized that one cannot act on one's own.
"Wanqing, you have grown up."
Huang Haijun was shocked by Huang Wanqing's apology. He had never thought that he would hear a sincere apology from Huang Wanqing. He could even hear Huang Wanqing's regret from this apology.
His sister's growth made him notice it in a different way.
"Brother, look at what you said. I'm already 24 years old this year." Huang Wanqing's face flushed. She knew that she had caused a lot of trouble to the family, and she also knew that her willfulness had hurt her family's feelings.
"Oh, you're twenty-four. I thought you were only fourteen."
Huang Haijun couldn't help but complain when he saw Huang Wanqing's mood improved.
"Brother." Huang Wanqing glared at Huang Haijun unhappily, then shook off Huang Haijun's hand, pushed open the gate in front of her, and walked in. They had arrived at their destination.
The educated youth had oil lamps at their home.
Huang Wanqing took out a match and lit the oil lamp.
The oil lamp was lit, and the entire youth education center came into Huang Haijun's sight. It was just as Qin Qingman said, not only quiet but also clean. It was even a bit big because it was a youth education center.
Big also means empty.
"Brother, this room is a bit big. It was originally a dormitory for about ten people, but because the educated youth have not been implemented, no one has lived in it. It is a bit empty and looks big." Huang Wanqing asked Huang Haijun to put the bedding on the kang while she went to heat the kang.
"I'll cook it."
Huang Haijun felt uncomfortable letting his sister take care of him, so he rolled up his sleeves and planned to do it himself.
"Brother, you don't know how to heat the kang. Go and light up the stove next to you. This room is big, and just heating the kang isn't warm enough. You have to light up the stove as well and put water on the stove to add humidity to the room at night." Huang Wanqing instructed Huang Haijun.
"All right."
Huang Haijun had never heated a kang before, and was worried that he would be scolded by his sister if he did it wrong, so he simply followed the instructions and lit the stove.
Stoves were popular not only in the Northeast but also in the capital, so he had made one.
The stove was lit and Tijuan sat on it.
"Brother, see if there is any water in the water tank next to you. If there is, add water to the kettle and boil it. You can wash your face and feet in a while." Huang Wanqing and Qin Qingman had made preparations in advance, so they would not let Huang Haijun's life be inconvenient today.
"There is water."
Huang Haijun took a look at the water tank. It was full of water. Judging from the clarity of the water, he estimated that it was filled today.
After saying this, he picked up the ladle beside him and scooped water into the pot.
Finally, he placed the kettle on the stove.
"The water should have been carried by the brothers Qin Jianming and Qin Jianjun. When they met us cleaning the educated youth site yesterday, they offered to help. In the end, they even promised to clean the water tank and fill it up." Huang Wanqing had also heated the kang by now, and walked over while explaining.
Your hands are dirty from burning the kang, you need to wash them.
Huang Haijun quickly poured water for his sister.
Although the kettle had just been placed on the stove, the water poured out was already a little warm, so it was still suitable for simple hand washing.
"Brother, don't worry about using this basin. Qingman and I brought it from home. I will take it back when you are done using it." Huang Wanqing explained, worried that her brother would dislike the basin.
All the usable things in this room were brought by her and Qin Qingman yesterday.
Towels included.
"I brought my own towel and toothbrush." Huang Haijun came with a bag. Although there were not many things in the bag, toiletries were definitely a must.
"Yeah." Huang Wanqing saw her brother start to pour water to wash his face, so she simply took off her shoes and sat on the kang.
In just a short while, the kang has become hot. It is warmer to sit on it than on a stool, but don't take off your outer clothes for the time being.
The temperature in the room is not high enough yet, so you can't take off your coat.
Huang Haijun is a soldier and has received training in winter. He is not afraid of the cold and washes quickly. By the time he washes his feet, the water in the kettle has already become hot because the fire is burning brightly. He simply pours the hot water and soaks his feet seriously.
I have walked a long way, and soaking my feet in this weather is the most comfortable thing.
"Brother, let me tell you about my situation here." Huang Wanqing looked at Huang Haijun seriously.
She knew what her brother wanted to know.
"Well, you talk and I'm listening." Huang Haijun sat on a small stool and soaked his feet with a calm face.
Although he already knew what Huang Wanqing had experienced here, he still wanted to hear it from Huang Wanqing herself.
It's best to be unreserved.
Huang Haijun knew Huang Wanqing very well. As Huang Wanqing's biological sister, she certainly knew Huang Haijun too, without hiding anything. She did not start from the time she arrived in Baicheng, but from why she came to Baicheng to work in the countryside.
Saying this meant that she had officially broken up with Gao Yefang.
Gao Yefang had plotted against her many times, and today, she had no intention of hiding Gao Yefang's dirty deeds.
Huang Haijun didn't expect that Huang Wanqing would even tell him all the tricks that Gao Yefang had planned. Looking at Huang Wanqing, he was very excited because he clearly realized that Huang Wanqing had really grown up.
"Brother, it was Gao Yefang who lied to me and told me that Brother Qi Weiying was on the farm in Baicheng, so I switched places with her. I really believed her at first, but I didn't expect that she would actually lie to me."
Huang Wanqing felt a little depressed when she talked about this.
Huang Haijun knew about Qi Weiying's situation. Gao Yefang did not lie to Huang Wanqing, because Qi Weiying was indeed in Baicheng, but was a bit far from Hongqi Farm, so the two did not meet.
After thinking about it, Huang Haijun did not tell Qi Weiying about his current situation.
He had to think it over again and figure out what Huang Wanqing meant to Qi Weiying now.
"Later, under Gao Yefang's plan, I took the photo and came to Baicheng on my own initiative. As soon as I arrived in Baicheng, I met the human traffickers..." Huang Wanqing was terrified when she talked about the mother and son human traffickers.
“Bang!”
"I shot them to death." With a loud bang, Huang Haijun stood up with an angry face. Not only that, he kicked the stool under his butt away. The loud bang just now was the sound of the stool hitting the wall.
"Brother, don't be angry, don't be angry, Qingman has already dealt with them for me."
Huang Wanqing saw her brother's frosty face, so she quickly got off the kang, put on her shoes, picked up the stool that she had kicked away, and placed it in front of the foot basin.
These things all belong to the Qin family and cannot be damaged.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten angry in front of you." Huang Haijun took a deep breath and sat on the stool again.
Although this was not the first time he had heard this, he still couldn't control his anger.
Because Huang Wanqing's narration would certainly carry her own true emotions, the fear she felt at that time would not be hidden when facing her relatives.
At this time, Huang Haijun clenched his hands, and the blue veins on the back of his hands were visible.
It can be seen how "two-faced" he was at this moment. If he was not afraid of scaring Huang Wanqing, he would definitely get angry again.
"Brother, it's all over. I heard that because of the seriousness of their crimes, both mother and son were shot to death." Huang Wanqing hurriedly comforted her brother and added some hot water to the foot basin.
"Well, go on."
Huang Haijun tried hard to calm the anger.
"Okay, I'll continue..." Huang Wanqing didn't even hide the fact that she was almost kidnapped from Huang Haijun, let alone the fact that Zhao Tiancheng was pursuing her. In the end, she told Huang Haijun all about Gao Yefang's misdeeds on the farm.
Huang Haijun really didn't know what Gao Yefang had done on the farm. After listening to it, it took him a long time to say, "Serves you right."
"I think it's a good idea for Gao Yefang to marry Wan Liang. They are not good people, so they should be able to check and balance each other." Huang Wanqing was very satisfied with Qin Qingman's handling of the matter.
"Wanqing, if you encounter problems in the future, you should ask Qingman more often. Although she is younger than you, she is smarter and more capable than you. You should listen more to her opinions." Huang Haijun reminded Huang Wanqing.
He was not afraid that these words would offend Huang Wanqing.
"Brother, I know. I know Qingman and Brother Wei are really good to me. Living in Kaoshantun, I realize how rare peace and quiet is." Huang Wanqing was not angry at Huang Haijun's words at all.
Because she knew that she was indeed no match for Qin Qingman.
